Oscars and the Hill

Read 2nd Seed's coverage of the Oscars. I still can't believe Crash won. How can you give the best Director award to Ang Lee and then turn around and give Best Movie to "Crash??" I'm glad that PSH won. Reese is awesome. E! Coverage is shallow and all the tools on the post show are soooo...bad, but I cant turn away.

So I watched the oscars and started falling asleep after best actress. But some very crazy hill things happened.

JS's performance was just the Daily Show Oscar Edition, the fake campaign ads were awesome. i thought he did an OK job in what has to be the worst job in Hollywood. Philosophical questions come up like is this what the world would be like if Hollywood and Politics came together. I'm not sure if it is a good mix. I liked Clooneys acceptance about how he is hapopy to be part of a community that pushes the envelope. i agree they do push but they also provide us with Date Movie and Ultraviolet (check out the blistering review from BrowserMetrics.) So you make the call!

Most importantly...

The Ranking Member of the Energy and Commerce Committee's Telecommunication Subcommittee Rep. Edward Markey was shown atleast twice during the awards show. Good ol' Ed Markey was chillin' with the stars. A Boston boy turned good Ed Markey is a champion of consumers and he was shown twice. I think we need to regulate the show and force it to be shown on all networks, lets stop them changing the networks each year and just let the E! crew do it. Just fucking joking the E! crew is awful. i hope Congressman Markey blogs his experience. Stop going to awards shows and drop those rates! We need real competition.
